Europe	Austria	AT-SCI	3-2	33: Peace and Disarmament	2010-08-01	2010-08-14	Yes	Yes	Meeting Place - Paths of Peace, Koetschach-Mauthen/Ploecken, Carinthia	Details/PrintAbstract from Description Many traces have been left by the First World War in the mountains between the Ortler Group and the Isonzo River during the years 1915-18. More than thirty years ago, a small group of mountaineering joined forces with the intention of restoring and re-opening some of the old wartime paths which led up these mountains. In 1973 this idea evolved into the founding of the Association named: “FRIENDS OF THE DOLOMITES”. Their motto became: "Paths which once separated us, shall unite us today" and the name "PATHS OF PEACE". Since 1983, the “Friends of the Dolomites” have been most active around the Plöckenpass area in the border region between Austria and Italy. The beautiful mountain landscape of the Carnic Ridge creates a marvellous backdrop to show visitors the soldier’s frontline environment in which such senseless suffering and hardship took place. Few other locations are better suited to show future generations the reality of war and how unsuitable it is for resolving conflicts. The friends of the Dolomites are working here, with the help of their International team of volunteers to reconstruct old trails, as well as excavate and reconstruct historical sites.

Europe	Austria	AT-SCI	6-3	66: Environment	2010-07-18	2010-07-31	Yes	Yes	Alpine Farming Encouragement, "Green Hands", Carinthia	Details/PrintAbstract from Description The forests, meadows and mountains of the Alps make up the place of many people’s dreams and desires. There they hope to find a way back into nature, to find the “real live”. Even if these areas and their inhabitants are in the middle of nowhere, they are in fact part of our globalised world. It’s often forgotten that the maintenance of these cultural landscapes is connected with additional efforts and lots of dangers, like windstorms, landslides and avalanches. In the two weeks of our camp we want to support the farmers in improving and renewing the protection forest above their homesteads. We will plant trees that are domestic for this mountain area. Furthermore we will remove bushes and trees from the mountain pastures, so the cows will find good grass again to chew on. Our volunteers have to be in a good physical condition as we will work at steep hillsides on the mountain. We will work in the Mölltal and the Asten, which is in the West of Carinthia and part of the Alps (and the National Park “Hohe Tauern”). Click for Full Printable Details!
